Keep event records alongside WordPress posts

Event Organiser Pro is a paid edition associated with Event Organiser, a WordPress event-management add-on. It uses WordPress custom post type functionality to manage events alongside posts, with separate timing and venue details. Administrators can review the event catalogue in a list view or a calendar view. Categories and tags help organize individual activities and larger programmes, including classes, meetings, and performances.

Set recurrence rules and handle date changes

Create one-time events or recurring schedules over a specified time range. Events can last for an arbitrary period, and recurrence patterns can include the third Tuesday of every fourth month or the sixteenth day of every month. Add or remove specific dates when a schedule changes, delete an individual occurrence if one date is cancelled, or optionally remove expired events automatically.

Connect venues to public event views

Venue records have a full content editor and Google Maps support. Venue pages can show events assigned to that location, and colour-coded categories help users distinguish types of activities. Public event pages can use pretty permalinks, with archive pages for years, months, and days.

Widgets provide a calendar, event list, and agenda. The list can be limited by quantity, category, or venue. Shortcodes provide a full calendar with category and venue filters, an event list, an agenda, and a venue map. Calendar views can show a month, week, or day where the relevant shortcode supports that format.

Share feeds and control event access

Visitors can subscribe to public event feeds or feeds for a particular venue or category, using Google and Webcal links. Events can also be imported from or exported to ICAL files. Relative date queries can find events that finished recently or events starting within a future period.

Custom permissions let website administrators specify which WordPress roles can create, edit, or delete events and manage venues.

Adapt event details to the website theme

Developer functions extend familiar post functions so templates can output event details such as the start date and time or venue. The custom post type follows the WordPress template hierarchy, and default templates can be overridden for theme-specific presentation.

Prepare and publish the event catalogue

Install Event Organiser Pro on the WordPress site used to manage the catalogue. Create venues, add event details, define schedules, and assign categories or tags. Add calendars, lists, agendas, maps, or subscription links to site pages with the available widgets and shortcodes. Review permissions and public archive pages before publishing the schedule.
